Mrs. Charles Kane, of Westport,
Has a Narrow Escape from
Being Murdered —— Defends
Herself With Broomstick and
Beats fo loseph ChriSt

But for the courage and strength of
Mrs. Charles Kane, of the Hulls
Farms district, Westport, another mur—
der would have been added to Fair-
fleld county's already large list of
crimes, yesterday morning.

That she is suffering from wounds
that prove to be slight is owing to her
good fortune, and not to any mercy
shown toward her by Joe Christ. her
assailant.

Christ is a Polack. He has been em
played as a farm hand off and on by
the Kancs for the past seven or eight
years. Ordinarily he is a quiet, eVen.
tempered fellow, not over bright, nor
specially vicious. When drunk lie is
excitable and flighty.

Saturday night he wont to Soiithport
and began drinking heavily. The
Kane farm is in the town of West-
port, but not far from Southport. In
a drunken condition the Polack came
home’late Saturday night. He roamed
about the premises noisily and made
himself considerable of a nuisance, ac-
cording to the version of his actions as
told in Southport yesterday.

About 8 o’clock Sunday morning he
insisted on going into the house where
Mrs. Kane was, at the time alone. Shr-

 

 

opposed his entrance and the Polack.

crazed by liquor until he was upon the
verge of tremens, made an assault
upon her. Mrs. Kane is a large wo~
man and very strong. Seizing a broom,
woman‘s proverbial weapon, shc
whacked the Polack soundly over the
head with it.

Instead of driving him off, this
seemed only to further cnrago the
fellow, who. drawing a knife, lunged
savagely at Mrs. Kane with the wee
pon. 'She threw up her left arm anti
the point, of the knife penetrated her
arm near the shoulder.

A second blow fell in a glancing
stroke upon her shoulder near the
collar bone. A third blow of the knife
penetrated the left ‘arm. Owing to
Mrs. Kane's activity and persistent
fighting off of her assailant. none of
these wounds are dangerous, though
the Polark made a savage effort to
kill her.

A physician was called who dressed
Mrs. Kane's wouiidspund made her as
comfortable is possible. The brave
woman succeeded in driving her as-
sailant from the room and an alarm
was speedily scnt‘out to the neigh-
bors. with the result that Deputy
Sheriff Kempcr, of Westport. was
called upon, and found Christ. upon
the Kaut— promises and arrested him.

thn Sheriff Kcmper wont to ar-
rest the i‘olack, he was found in a
rooin of‘ the house, into which he had
locket] himself. Armed with an axe
he threatened to brain any one who
came within rcacli of his \voiipon. The
door was broken down by the sheriff
and his posse and thc Polack was so-
cured after a lively fight.

The prisoner was taken to Wostport
and locked up in the leckiip for the
night.

STAMFORD, Oct. lit—A crowded

went racing down the liiil.

(in board the first two there was a
bad panic. As soon as it lieoaiiie evi-
lciit that ii collision was coming there
was a lively scramble to get off. Men
on tho running boards of the runaway
tumbled all over the road, and those
inside fought for a chance to follow
their example. Some of tho badly
frightened men shoved women and oth-
er men off the our in order to make
way for themselves.

Such incidents were repeated on the
second car when it was seen that a
crash was coming. One man. in his
anxiety to save his sweetheart, shov-
ed off five persons who were in the
same sent.

Miss Josephine Hickey had a nar-

struggling to get out of the first car
and fell on the highway. She was
rolling under the whccis when some
one caught her skirt and pulled her
out of danger. '

Miss May Brooks, who also was
pushed off. was trampled by some of
those who followed her. She swoon-
ed from pain and fright, but was re-
vivcd by a physician.

The cars were stopped at the bot‘
tom of the hill and the power was
soon turned on again.

TAKES CARE OF HIS FATHER.

 

 

Charles L. James Says He Gave Plenty
of Food and Medical Attention.
Charles L. James called at The Son-
tlnel office this afternoon, and denied
most emphatically the story printed
last week. He stood that his father
since a bull broke his hip, was in tho
Norwalk Hospital eight days. and
had been treated for the accident by
Drs. Gregory and Ilunncll. He keeps
a. servant to do the housework for his
father anti mother. and it has never
been necessary. he says. for his mo.
thcr to lift his father about. The biili
in question was not turned loose rc-
ccnily, but had been in pasture for
several months. and the eldcr Mr.
James had been cautioned not to go
near the animal. but be neglected to
heed the advice. Mr. Jaincs, tlic youn-
ger, states further ibiit he has always
given his parents a house and provided
everything necessary for them. paying
all doctors and other bills. and has
never sought or expected aid from the
selectmen or anyone else in thc town
of Norwalk or elsewhere. He believes
come one with decidedly malicious iii-
tent. circulated the story which was
given publicity.

At Request of Counsel Trial of
Attorneys Tripp and Rodgers
is Continued Until October 81
——Aged Stratford Plaintiff in
Court

Accompanied by a distinguished ret-
inuc, consisting of jurists, a statesman
of renown, and a well known editor,
Frank L. Rodgers, the lawyer of
Bridgeport and DwightzK. Tripp, a
New York attorney anti promoter, ap-
peared in the city court, Bridgeport,
Saturday. to answer the charges of de-
faulting chry G. Wheeler. an aged
resident of Stratford, of about 317,000
by the juggling 0f promissory notes.

The cases against the two lawyers
were continued from October 5, when
former United States Senator Charles
A. Towns, of Minnesota. appeared
and in a whirlwind of eloquence se-
cured the reduction of bonds of $10.-
000 which held the two men to $5,000
each. On that day Rodgers and Tripp
were arraigned on two counts, one
charging them with attempting to de-
fraud by false representation and the
other with having actually accomplish-
ed their purpose.

Jungiad Notes.

As has been previously told they
wore arrested by Deputy Sheriff Stagg
in his office after Mr. Wheeler had be-
come suspicious and feared that notes
which he alleges he has signed for
Tripp to the amount of $17,000 or
thcrcabouts were lost to him. Since
then threats of suit. to recover $60,000
from Sheriff Stagg have been made by
attorneys for the accused but so far
no action has been instituted.

Distinguished Company.

Saturday Tripp anti Rodgers came to
court with a distinguished body
guard. t‘OliSISflIlK of former United
States Senator 'l‘ownc, Alexander A.
Troupe, editor of the New Haven
Union, Judge Elmer S. Banks, Bridge-
port coiinscl for the accused, and two
strangers who preferred to remain in
the background as far as publicity is
conccrnctl.

Cass Continued.

Senator Towne at once asked for a
continuance stating that he was ob-
llgod to be in Chicago Sunday and
should have been thcrc Saturday. He
said he would bc‘ willing to conic any
time next wcck or the week after.
Prosecuting Attorney Pullman stated
that the state was ready to proceed
with thc case. but that he had no ob-
jection to a continuance and it was
decided to set the case down for trial
on October 31.

Bond- Reduced.

Since they wore arraigned two
weeks ago, the bonds of Rodgers have
been reduced from $5,000 to 83,500.
Tripp's, however. were kept at the
$5,000 mark. Judge Banks. who went
surety for his clients withdrew to-day
and two new bondsnicn were accepted.
Mr. 'l‘roupc was recognized in the sum
of 85,000 for the appearance of Tripp
and .iigcrt W. Knapp, of l-‘airtield,
father-ln‘law 0f Rodgers, furnished a
bond of 83.500 for him.

The change in bondamen was ac-
complished in order that Judge Banks
might not be prevcntcd from appear-
ing for his clients at the trial which
would have been the rear had be con-
tinued as boiitismcn for them.

Henry (I. Wheeler, the aged Strat-
ford resident who alleges that he has
bocn victimized by the accused was in
court accompanied by his wife and
son. Deputy Sheriff Stiigg was also
there.

Big a... of iron WedgedFirmly
Against flail Near a Sharp
Curve in Stamford

STAMFORD, Oct. 10.--An attempt
to wreck the west bound express of
the New York, New Haven 8: Hart-
ford Railroad, which leaves here at
3:12 and is due in New York at 4:06
was foiled yesterday afternoon a few
minutes before the train was due.

George H. Scotleld, a tower operator,
while walking along the track to his
home found an obstruction in the
shape of a big bar of iron on the
track. which, it is said. would have
wrecked the train. The bar of iron
was fifteen inches long and about
three inches thick and was firmly
wedged against one of the rails on
the third track. The bar was imbsd-
dad in stones and it was with difficulty
that Scofieid pulled it out. He took it
to police headquarters after reporting
at the station and a search for the
would-be train wreckers was begun
but. with no result thus far.

Railroad men here say that the po-
sition of the bar against the rail
would have caused the train to jump
the track, especially as the train would
have been going at a fast rate of
speed, and as the obstruction was at
the head of a sharp curve about three
quarters of a mile west of the Static
ford station. Scofleld made the dis-
covery at 2:50 and the train was due
at the station at 3:12.

That a serious wreck was narrow-
ly averted is not doubted by the rali~
road men at this place.

 

 

 

We have more fear of a little crazy
man, or a little drunken man. than we
have of two big sober men,
